Outside the city of Fuzhou, Enlai sent Ouyang Jian to Quanzhou. Ouyang Jian and Enlai discussed, Jiangxi's development must be in advance and talked freely about their own ideas, which was supported by Enlai. Since Enlai had to stay in Fuzhou to deal with the aftermath and could not accompany Ouyang Jian to Quanzhou, Ouyang Jian could only go alone.

Half of the special combat team was left to defend Enlai, and the other team accompanied Ouyang Jian to Quanzhou. At the time of separation, Enlai was concerned: "Brother Ouyang, you must pay attention to safety on the road, and remember that you must rush back to the base in early August." If you have the conditions, you can decide what you need to buy. "Brother Enlai, don't worry, I'll be careful, the next key construction of the base area is a top priority, we must seize the early, I will return with a full load." Ouyang Jian shook hands with Enlai and stepped onto the war horse, and soon the horse team disappeared into the distance.

The horse team entered the boundary of Quanzhou, and Ouyang Jian raised his eyes to look into the distance, and the green mountains were undulating and chic. The large and small hills are entwined by rivers, and the interspersed basins are scattered, and the scenery is very beautiful. Although it is the middle of summer, Quanzhou is not very hot due to the influence of the marine climate. The horses were sweating, and the speed of the galloping horse team slowed down. The horse team marched slowly and rested intermittently, and Mu Shixiong opened the conversation box and said: "Commander, I didn't expect that the scenery of Quanzhou is very beautiful!" "Quanzhou is not only charming, but also famous in history!" "Commander, haven't you heard that Quanzhou is famous in history?" Mu Shixiong was confused.

Ouyang Jian thought for a moment and said: "Quanzhou is known as the cultural capital of East Asia and the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. Referred to as carp, also known as Licheng, Thorn City, Wenling is famous at home and abroad. The Tang and Song dynasties were the most glorious period of Quanzhou, especially the overseas trade of the Song Dynasty, which started from Quanzhou to the South Seas and the Arabian Peninsula. It is said that at the height of the Song Dynasty, Quanzhou was inhabited by a large number of Arab merchants. The Italian traveler Marco Polo came to Quanzhou at that time and once called it the city of light, which means that Quanzhou is not only prosperous, but also a metaphor for the magnificent scene of thousands of lights in Quanzhou. Quanzhou was glorious in the Middle Ages for more than 400 years, and Quanzhou was a business card of China in that era. “

When a group of people entered Quanzhou City, an ancient wind blew on their faces, mixed with a strong Muslim style, and a large number of mosques were located during the period, which made this ancient city glow with a different charm. Walking on Tumen Street, it seems dizzying. On both sides of the street are a large number of relics from the Song and Yuan dynasties. There is a saying: look at Xi'an underground, look at Quanzhou on the ground, stroll through this ancient street, you will feel the wind of the eternal relics inadvertently flashing frequently, revealing the simplicity and elegance and exquisite grace in the calm, and the introverted deep and unrestrained when excited.

After the agreement between the two sides came into effect, a certain regiment of the First Army was ordered to live here, and the commander of the regiment personally went to the city gate to greet him upon hearing the news. After staying in the city, I couldn't speak for a night due to the fatigue of the journey. Early the next morning, Ouyang Jian came to Weitouwan Port. It was still early, Ouyang Jian carefully browsed the scenery of the harbor, and secretly sighed in his heart that this place was worthy of being an excellent natural harbor. Looking into the distance, the island looming on the opposite side was Kinmen Island, which was familiar to Ouyang Jian. The geographical location of Wai Tau Bay is just right, ships from the south to the north must pass through here, the sea is wide and the water is deep, it is a natural sheltered harbor. It is no wonder that it is the largest port in the East, on a par with the historic Alexandria.

A whistle woke Ouyang Jian's contemplation, and a steam passenger and cargo ship slowly approached in the distance, breaking the silence on the sea. Passenger and cargo ships emit thick black smoke, polluting the air on the sea. The passenger and cargo ship stopped at the pier, and the passengers gathered on the deck began to disembark. Soon, Hermann, a tall, obese German arms dealer in a top hat, appeared. He received a telegram from Ouyang Jian in Shanghai and made a special trip to Quanzhou to meet Ouyang Jian.

At present, Herman's arms trade is in trouble, because he is an inconspicuous arms dealer, and in the fiercely competitive Chinese arms market, his small company cannot compete with the big arms dealers, so the arms trade has been struggling and surviving for several years. In particular, the economic crisis that broke out in Europe and the United States put Hermann's arms trade on the verge of collapse.

Ouyang Jian is his nobleman, and now Ouyang Jian's reputation is prominent, and he has become the general of the powerful side. In this regard, Herman received a telegram from Ouyang Jian and rushed to Quanzhou as soon as possible. At this time, Ouyang Jian stood on the dock in a military uniform and stood out very eye-catching, while the faces of Herman foreigners were big and stood out from the crowd, and the two sides naturally found each other's targets in a very short time. "Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Ouyang!" Herman excitedly came to the front and hugged him, "Haha old friend, you should call General Ouyang now." "Time flies, a few years in the blink of an eye, and Mr. Herman has always been good!" Ouyang Jian was a little embarrassed by the other party's enthusiasm.

The two sides left the dock and exchanged pleasantries all the way, and soon, in a famous restaurant in Quanzhou, Ouyang Jian picked up the wind and washed the dust for Herman. Herman is not good at drinking liquor, so Ouyang Jian specially asked him for a bottle of foreign wine. After a few glasses of wine, Herman said bluntly: "General Ouyang, you are my nobleman, and now that you have a prominent position, I need your help." "Mr. Herman, I need your help too!" Regarding Herman's remnants, Ouyang Jian already knew about it through the dark arrow. "To tell you the truth, there are many German arms dealers in China, and my small company cannot compete at all, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy. Now that General Ouyang dominates the side, he definitely needs a large number of arms? “

Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Mr. Herman, at present, there is a complete truce in the country, and the demand for arms has dropped significantly, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for your small company to survive." "That's why I need your help." "As far as I know, the economic crisis that broke out in '29 affected the entire European and American societies and caused the Great Depression. Tens of millions of people in the United States are unemployed, and millions more are unemployed in Germany. Although China is poor and has no more civil strife, the Great Depression in Europe and the United States has not affected China. In this regard, gold diggers from European and American countries came to China in large numbers, so it is normal for your small arms company to struggle with it. “

"General Ouyang, no wonder you dominate one side, you are the person who knows Europe and the United States best among the Chinese, it is true, it is true, at present, almost all the arms dealers in Germany are gathered in China, and the competition is very fierce." Herman finished speaking, and a depressed expression appeared on his face. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Mr. Herman, although the economic crisis broke out in Europe and the United States and were in the period of the Great Depression, there are also huge business opportunities!" "Please General Ouyang for advice!" Herman's eyes widened with excitement. "Since you have limited strength and it is difficult to compete in arms, why do you hang that on a tree?" "You're saying you can't put all your eggs in the same basket, but I don't have any other trade routes, and I don't dare to take risks!"

Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Mr. Herman, you said that I am your nobleman, I have no problem helping you, and more importantly, I can't suffer." I have no objection to who you are, you are a reliable partner. But I need your absolute loyalty, and that is absolute trust in me. I can guarantee that not only will you make a lot of money, but you will become a world-class tycoon within 5 years. Herman's mouth opened wide in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears. I said you have to trust me absolutely, or I'll look for another agent. "No, no, General Ouyang, I promise God that I am your most trusted partner!"

"You're not assuring God, you're guaranteeing money!" Ouyang Jian said politely. "General Ouyang, don't sell Guanzi, I will definitely fulfill my promise." Herman seemed to have grasped the straw that saved his life. "Alright! I'm going to give you an opportunity to make a quick buck and make a lot of money. As far as I know, at present, the German military industrial enterprises are in a unique position, and the German military industrial enterprises and even affiliated factories are in urgent need of a large number of pig hair and manganese ore. "I know this situation, but it is difficult to collect large quantities of pig hair, and manganese ore is scarce, could it be that there is manganese ore in your land?" "Not only do we have rich deposits of manganese ore, but we are rich in minerals. As for the pig hair, I can provide it in bulk! ”

Herman was overjoyed when he heard this, but immediately said depressedly: "This transaction is sure to make a profit, but I don't have any money in my hand, so I can't do such a large deal." Ouyang Jian smiled: "You won't do a profit-free transaction?" "Profitless?" Herman's eyes widened in surprise. "That's right, I'll provide a batch of pig hair first, so you don't have to pay for it. How about I give you 10% of the profit! "General Ouyang, I agree to make a deal!" "In addition, if you want to go back to Germany in person, I will provide you with a ton of selected manganese ore sand, you take the selected manganese ore sand, and trade with your country's weapons department, I will provide the price, if you can successfully reach a purchase agreement with your country's weapons department, I can give you 5% of the profit of manganese ore sand!"

"OK! Herman took a sip of the wine in the toast without thinking and continued: "General Ouyang, I can sign the contract now!" "A fool will not refuse a deal that is sure to make a profit." Wait, I haven't finished talking about what are you anxious about? "So you have the conditions?" "There is no such thing as a free dinner in the world. I ask you to earmark the money from the transaction, and at present, a large number of factories in the United States have closed down, and a large number of industrial equipment has been discarded, which can be said to be the price of cabbage. Therefore, I want to import a large amount of machinery and equipment from the United States, mainly chemical equipment, textile equipment, petroleum smelting equipment, internal combustion engine equipment, radio technology and manufacturing equipment. “

This kung fu Herman was sure that Ouyang Jian was not a preface, and at the same time, he realized how big the deal would be in the future, and he was suddenly a little carried away with excitement. "Mr. Herman, especially the scrap steel in the United States is very cheap, and I want to import it for a long time. As for importing equipment and scrap steel from the United States, you can increase the price by one percent, although the profit of one percent is small, but you can still get a good return on large-scale long-term imports. In addition, we need a large number of engineering and technical personnel, such as weapons engineers, chemical engineers, internal combustion engine engineers, automotive engineers, petroleum experts, medical experts, etc., in addition to factory technicians, we are recruiting a large number of technicians. “

"If your compatriots are willing to come to Jiangxi, China, we will offer preferential remuneration. At present, there are many unemployed people in Germany, and you can count it as a help to your compatriots. "General Ouyang, there is no problem, I will recruit the best engineers for you, let's start signing the contract!" Herman couldn't wait. Ouyang Jian must take advantage of Herman's conditions to achieve his own goals, so he must be trapped. Soon after the contract was signed in duplicate, when the two sides raised their glasses to celebrate, Ouyang Jian threw a bombshell: "Mr. Herman, if the cooperation between us satisfies me, I will give you a mountain of gold in two years, but the premise is that you must accept my test." “

"Jinshan? General Ouyang, I don't understand why you want to give it to me since it's Jinshan, I don't believe you are so generous. Herman shook his head. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "This gold mountain is abroad, if I can get it, I will naturally not give it to you." You are a foreigner, and it is easy to get this mountain of gold. In the future, oil will be black gold, and my people have discovered an oil field with astronomical reserves, and the key is that this oil field is shallow and easy to extract. I can describe it as digging up oil with a pickaxe. Preliminary estimates of mining costs are less than US$ per tonne. If you own the land, what does it mean? “

"General Ouyang, it's not easy to buy land, even Jinshan is someone else's." Herman was a little discouraged. "I can tell you that the land is very barren and private, and it's very easy and very cheap to get." General Ouyang: I want to know your conditions? "In the future, I will pay half of the money for the purchase of land, and we will share the profits fifty-fifty, but you have to wait patiently for two years!" "If someone finds out in advance!" "No way, it's a barren land, and no one is paying attention to that land at the moment!" Herman hesitated for a moment and said, "General Ouyang, I believe that you have made a deal, and you have said that it will be two years!" "One word is a deal!"

Casting a long line to catch a big fish, step by step, must let Herman taste the sweetness first. Ouyang Jian accompanied Herman to Quanzhou for two days, during which Ouyang Jiandian reported to Mao Zetan that the pig hair purchased by the Jiujiang base in recent years was transported to the wharf of Xingzi County, and in addition, Mao Zetan was asked to transfer the manganese ore sand in Lin Yifan's hands to Xingzi County, so as to create conditions for Herman to go to Xingzi County for inspection in the next step. When they parted, Ouyang Jian provided Herman with radio contact, and then went home separately. Herman returned to Shanghai first, and after he finished his business, he went to Xingzi County.
